While my Jazz point may seem off-topic, it is also illustrates the way people are making "anime is only ..." arguments; that it is too say arguments based on loose understanding and limited personal observations, not reasoned perspective. (And no offense, but many of the long diatribes are coming from 'anime veterans' obviously in their young-mid teens, no matter how old they may postulate.)

A quick note towards anime, in many ways it is already heavily "Western". Sure there are cultural differences, but exactly what creative content is "pure Japanese"? The girls with guns series, the love triangle series, the sci-fi angles, the sword-and-sorcery set? Sorry, from Ghost in the Shell to Slayers to Tenchi there exists heavy genre archetyping from 'Western' sources. Credit the Japanese market with developing animation of a generally wider scope and range, with out doubt, but watch when you start flinging around "it's in the gene's" drek.

Which leads to my final point, when arguments about "Anime is for..." crop up, you know what, it's never really about anime anyway. It's about a person trying to foster an ego-identity niche, a special sub culture just for them. That's why so many people cry about dubs, when it's in a different language and more inaccessible, it means an exclusive hobby that they can be privy to. When we hear (generally) "mainstream", "raw-not dubbed"", "too Western", those are just cries from those worried about losing hold over a sub group which they hold as their own.

lol.Can disney make only the animation of 3D? Moreover, the hand has been cut also from the animation manufacture company of 2D. Does future disney just fall? Isn't it disney although animation of Japan may also have fallen? :)
